To be certain this is the first I have ever heard of Native American's inventing the Blues. Maybe or Probably there are parallels in music styles developing independent of each other.

If you find information affirming Native American's developing a style of music you could include it in your research.

The History Books say there were about 500,000 Indians here when the Pilgrams came. As with all things the facts may vary and the history sometimes sketchy.
